The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 512

Last time, accompanied by Vivian, I had already transferred the billion dollars back to Ferris's account. However, because he and Lucille suddenly showed up, Eden Gardens wasn't successfully transferred back to his name.

Even though Ferris didn't mention that transaction today, I still felt uneasy.

I needed to make everything crystal clear to avoid any future complications.

He furrowed his brows and stared at me in silence for a long moment. "Fine."

It felt as though a massive boulder suspended over my heart had finally dropped, as if I had landed safely, free of danger.

A profound sense of relief washed over me.

Without another word, I decisively signed the document.

The clerk looked between us and said softly, "Alright, you're all set. You can come pick up your divorce certificate after The 30-Day Mandatory Cooling-Off Period."

A cooling-off period?

Alarm bells blared in my head as I abruptly looked at Ferris.

I rarely paid attention to marriage laws and had no divorced friends, so I had no idea a thirty-day mandatory waiting period had been implemented.

But when we got married three years ago, considering he had a divorce agreement ready to go, he had to be thoroughly familiar with the legal system.

Did he know about this hurdle all along, which was why he was so eager to come do the paperwork today? Was he planning to pull more strings during these thirty days?
